I have been practicing massage since 2001, when I graduating from the Muscular Therapy Institute, where I also worked as a teaching assistant and massage therapist. I now work full time as a massage therapist, giving more than 300 massages per year. I’m continually humbled by the miraculousness of healing. My goal is to help people empower themselves and reconnect with their bodies. In 2003, I completed training in pregnancy massage. I learned about changes to the body during pregnancy, and how to apply massage to the challenges of pregnancy, delivery, and the post-partum period. Pregnancy massage is a specialty of mine, and I also work part-time as a birth doula.
I have expertise in the areas of chronic pain, repetitive stress injuries, and anxiety disorders. I specialize in developing long-term treatment plans for my regular clients. I am trauma and gender aware in my work.
